I've been very pleased with my Christian 1000 woody's. I'm pretty sure they offer a Sakic clone. As for the 5030's, I'm not overly familiar with their curves, but the Crosby is similar for loft, but more Drury-ish.

that should be fine ,drurys are pretty popular so i could like it

FWIW- I use the SherWood 9950. In my opinion the best all-around wood stick on the market. The 7000's and 5030's aren't bad either- lower in price and very popular as far as wood sticks go.

the bauer 6000's are nice and have grip

Go with the easton z-carbon, by far my favorite wood stick.

i was looking at sherwood 5030's the other day for the heck of it and for some reason all the dang curves look the same to me. the havlat, spezza and bouchard all looked modano'ish for some reason. maybe my eyes dont work anymore

On a sherwood 5030 with curve is the closest the an easton sakic.

[Buzz_LightBeer 974]

id say bouchard, although none of them are identical. Spezza in Momentums

sherwoods are pretty decent I think

I know for sure my next woodstick is going to be a NikeBauer One90

I like how the Sher-wood 7000s feel in the shop but I've never tried them. I've had 2 5030s but I can't get much more than a week out of them.

bouchard is like a modano

My 7000 blade went to hell in about 2 practices. I did like the shaft it had on it though.

My 7000 blade is hilarious to look at, seriously. I should take a pic later (probably after I take the tape of next time) and put them up. I think everyone would have a general "wtf, how do you use that!?" expression.

5030's are great sticks, very light wood stick

but last may be 2 weeks (at least for me)

i prefer the zcarbons, last waaaay longer

I liked Koho wood sticks, the abs runner prevented splitting, which is how I normally break wood sticks.

Dang I wish my old 5030's lasted that long. I would always get about 1-2 games tops with them. Nice sticks though.

Sher-Wood 7000's are good too. I'm kinda bummed I just broke mine last night. I loved the weight and feel of it.

How the heck do you guys break/wear-out your wood sticks that fast? Before I purchased my 9950's, I had a Sher-Wood 7000 that last approx 3 months (probably used 25x). in fact, it didn't even break- I tossed it because it was feeling dead and the heel was beginning to splinter. I am extremely tough on sticks (lots of slappers, games, etc) so what am I missing here!?

Maybe you just need a little more lead in your pencil... :lol:

I can't say I have much to compare them to, but I've used both the Sherwood 5030 and the Easton Z-Carbon. Not sure whether it has anything to do with the stick, but I've been told I have a gift for passing. I guess we'll find out next week when I start using my new Apollo. :D

The Z-Carbon definitely lasted me longer than the 5030, though; I had bought the Z-Carb maybe 3-4 years ago (used for maybe 12-18 months of 3 hours a week street and roller hockey) and ended up hanging up my skates (dislocated knee followed by moving to Texas) until last May. When I picked up ice hockey here, I picked up a new 5030 since the Z-Carb's blade was a little chewed up from playing street hockey.

The 5030's blade started delaminating pretty quickly; I'd say within maybe 12-15 hours of play. I went back to the Z-Carbon when the 5030 went soft on me, and it's lasted maybe 20 hours plus all the roller/street time I put on it.

That said, I didn't tape my blade when I first started ice, and I didn't know about waxing, so you could probably double those numbers easily by just taping and waxing carefully. For me (not a massive/strong guy by any means; I tend towards wrist shots, and Al McInnis will be able to beat my slapper when he's in a wheelchair ;)), the water was the killer; the blades themselves look good, and the shafts haven't cracked at all, but when the blade just dissolves there's not much you can do.

Is it true that spezza is a look like Iggy? or is there any blade like iginla?

I would say the Leclair pattern may be the most similar to the Iggy of Easton. But Sherwood doesn't make the Leclair pattern in the high end blades that much.
